The thrift store prices here for a shirt or skirt are about the same price as a yard of fabric. I use to find gathered skirts that had yards of cotton fabric in it but of course no one is wearing them anymore so no donations. Goodwill and Salvation Army stores here have very few cotton shirts or dresses all are poly or knit or formal wear. I can't find 100% wool clothes there anymore, all are a wool blend. :(
